✦ Synopsis

DURING the past ten years, epigraphical studies have been prosecuted with enthusiasm at Columbia University, and a collection of Latin inscriptions has been gathered that already numbers several hundred. Among these are many that have never been published, and some that are given incorrectly in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum or elsewhere. It is planned to prepare, some day, a critical catalogue, with commentary, of the entire collection. Meanwhile, in the interest of the Corpus itself, it is well to call attention to a few, under the caption of addenda et corrigenda. Such of the inscriptions as are in my own collection, also preserved in the Latin Department of the University, are marked with an asterisk (*). 1 Ornamental tombstone of white marble (0.535 x 0.33 x 0.04 m.), found in 1903 in excavating for a villion in Via Boncompagni opposite the (former) Pensione Giannelli.
